What is “Lived Expertise”?

Name: Robyn Priest LIVE YOUR TRUTH
Address: CA

Lived Expertise is a person’s experience of mental health and the journey of recovery. It recognizes the unique insights, awareness and opportunities lived experience provides and differentiates between the lived experiences that all people have and those uniquely informed by life-altering mental health challenges.

Engaging and Informative

"We had RPLYT deliver a one-day refresher on support group facilitator training for our staff and caregiver peer support facilitators. Robyn was awesome to work with! She custom-designed the training and handouts for us to ensure they met our needs. The one-day training was engaging and informative. Even the seasoned facilitators said they had a great time and learnt things. Robyn was fantastic."

Highly Recommend

"We had also worked with Robyn in the past when she was part of an evaluation team of our new caregiver peer support groups and helped with some work on our facilitator manual. She is professional and makes everyone feel open and very comfortable. I highly recommend RPLYT!"
